Fireworks Show

The Chamblee fireworks show at Keswick Park has been known to compete with Atlanta fireworks displays as well known as Lenox. This show is about a 20 to 25 minute show that features a wide variety of fireworks. No need to compete with the Atlanta traffic to be able to see a phenomenal fireworks display.
